[Cisspstudy] CSSLP Certification - Opening of Exam AndClassRegistration

Fri Apr 24 15:29:16 EDT 2009

Well go over to Monster.com, input CISSP and security+ for your area and you will see what companies are looking for.  In my area, Atlanta, GA, it is 0 for Security+ and 15 for CISSP today.

I took the Security+ because people had said that it was a good stepping stone for the CISSP.  Maybe that is true but I found it to be significantly easier than the CISSP.  The down side is that passing the Security+ with flying colors might give you a false sense of what the CISSP.  The up side is that the Security+ never expires so you will always have it.
